Yes, that was the post I intended to reply to.  Unfortunately I typed
"you" instead of "to" so the sentence made no sense (well, not true, it
did -- it made the wrong sense).

I couldn't see the point of posting a complex implementation that
accepts such a narrowly defined format with almost no error checking.
The code has the undefined behaviour that can come from using atoi but
none of the simplicity of the other suggestions that have been made.  It
will read incorrect data with the slightest perturbation in the input
without ever reporting any errors.  It did not look serious to me.
